Pain Train derailed, Princess perfect at ultimate regionals

By Matthew Mackey | May 11, 2006

Chris Takeuchi / The Dartmouth Staff The best ultimate frisbee teams in the Northeast converged in Hanover last weekend to play in the 2006 Ultimate Players Association College Regional Championship, a two-day tourney that qualified the top two teams to play in the impending national tournament. Tufts bounced the Pain Train, the men's squad, in the semifinals on double game point. Princess Layout, Dartmouth's women's team, soundly defeated all who stood in its way, winning the region and a bid to the national tournament. The women came into the tournament as the top seed in the women's division and lived up to expectations, winning games against Colby, Vermont and MIT by fair margins before defeating Tufts, 13-10. Dartmouth thrived on the strong play and leadership of its co-captains, Liz Middleton '06 and Lakshmi Narayan '06, as well as solid efforts from several of its younger members, a good sign for Dartmouth's future on the ultimate field. "Our team has worked really hard all season." Lydia Islan '08 said, "So, it was really great to see us come together and show everyone what we can do." Tufts defeated MIT in the loser's bracket game, 15-9, to go on to take the second bid to the national tournament. The Pain Train came into regionals as the eighth seed, but results at earlier tournaments had shown all of the top teams in the region to be vulnerable, leaving the two bids to nationals relatively wide open.

Football treats fans to 2006 preview in annual scrimmage

By John Mitchell | May 8, 2006

The white squad's bend-but-don't-break defense kept the green out of the end zone in the waning moments of the annual Green/White intrasquad football scrimmage at Memorial Field on Saturday morning, leaving the white with a 21-14 victory in the team's final action of the spring. With the game tied at 14 late in the fourth quarter, Josh Cohen '09, who assumed the starting quarterback spot in the latter part of the fall season, drove the white team to a quick score and the lead.

Softball wraps up encouraging season with third-place Ivy finish

By Rob Friedman | May 8, 2006

Rain Tuesday morning led to the cancellation of the last softball game of the season -- a fitting end for a season marked by unexpected events. The Big Green's spring season was plagued by injuries, had surprising wins and disappointing losses, all en route to a satisfying third place Ivy League finish and a 14-22 overall record. The season started very slowly for the team.

Jeff Wilkerson '07 pitched five and one-third innings of relief Thursday, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits as BC downed the Big Green 9-6.

Women's sailors warm up for Nationals at fun-filled MIT regatta

By Jon Kling | May 3, 2006

Jennie Post / The Dartmouth Staff Dartmouth's women's sailing team has qualified for the ICSA Team Race National Championship and hopes to push the co-ed squad towards that same goal. The women's team edged out Harvard in a third place finish at the New England Championships to earn a spot at Nationals two weekends ago, when four Dartmouth sailors were named to the All-New England team. When the women arrived at Boston College for the two-day New England Championships to steady winds, chilly water and a gathering of the 13 best teams in the Northeast, they knew they had a tough task ahead of them. Yale and Harvard took an early lead on Saturday, but the Dartmouth women got into the swing of things late.
